Now, in the analogy of a king, he transforms [the people around him] from feeling themselves as something important to feeling like nothing of independent importance, since all his subjects nullify their ego before him.
Similarly, Above in Divinity “There is no King without a ‘עם-nation,’” (see Kad HaKemach, Rosh Hashana 2:3 and Tanya part II chap. 7) from the etymology of ‘עוממות-dimmed coals,’ which refers to one who’s revealed connection to his source is dimmed and therefore he feels himself as independent and disconnected, the purpose of this is to create someone who has his own ego and then is able to surrender and nullify his ego to Hashem by his own free will.
As it is written regarding the angels, “The legions of heaven bow to You.” (Ezra-Nechemia 9:6)
However, angels are not separate from Hashem as much [as people are]. However, it is specifically the Jewish people in this world, who are in a situation of total spiritual darkness which creates a strong feeling of separation from their source and nonetheless nullify their ego before Hashem, this is where the main expression of Hashem’s Kingship is revealed, through the nullification of ego from feeling itself as something [having independent importance] to feeling that it is nothing [separate and independently important aside from Hashem].
(This is not the case regarding a son, who is like the leg of his father, i.e., he is connected and one with him, and cannot make his father into a king).
This is why Jewish souls Above cannot make Hashem a King, since they are always bound up with Hashem and have no ego. Only Jewish souls in the physical body in this world who have an ego can make Hashem a King.
And, therefore, specifically “you,” the Jewish people will be a “desirable land,” since it is only in them that the Inner Desire and Will of Hashem can sprout forth to fruition. And it is specifically through through Yisroel performing physical mitzvos, that the aforementioned “sprouting” and growth can occur.
This is the meaning of the verse, “A wife who fears Hashem, she will be praised.” (Mishlei 31:20): Hashem is referred to as the Groom, and Knesses Yisroel (the souls of the Jewish People) are referred to as the Bride, the “wife who fears Hashem.”
This refers to the fact the Jewish People, the ‘wife’ of Hashem, create in themselves a feeling of awe putting themselves aside for Hashem. Through this [awe and nullification of ego] “she ‘is praised’” – she brings forth a ray of G-dly revelation, since the word ‘is praised’ comes from the expression of ‘shining,’ as we find in the verse, “‘when He [Hashem] will shine’ His lamp on my head...” (Iyov 29:3)
Through our efforts to come to a fear of Hashem and putting our ego aside to fulfill His Will, we reveal Hashem’s Kingship in ourselves and the entire world, which is a tremendously great revelation.
